It's good to see some other honest A. Keys fans on here.

I said the album was a 3.5/5, and other posters nearly shot my head off on a another blog. I thought the album had a pretentious tone to it. From the vocal arrangement to the subject matter even, I felt A. K. was trying to portray a classic album instead of pouring out her soul and letting the classic rating just be a side result. (Typical Clive Davis product)

I shouldn't have to force myself to like an album. I had to listen to 'No One' a million times to be able to kinda like it.

Like I said, I'm just glad that you all are keeping it real.
